5.3 Modern genetics uses DNA technology.

Lesson Vocabulary:
selective breeding, genetic engineering

5.3 Review
1. A GM organism has had a gene from another species transferred to its DNA.
2. sequencing the 3 billion nucleotide pairs in human DNA
3. Sample answer: add nutrients to foods, produce new and better drugs, increase food production, and screen for genetic disorders
4. selective breeding- selecting parent organisms to pass on traits to offspring; genetic engineering- isolating specific DNA, inserting it into another organism; both- producing organisms with desirable traits
5. no, because the trait is now coded for in all the organism´s cells
6. Sample answer: because it comes from a more natural source, or a source more similar to that of a healthy human
